In our final pilot review before the fall season begins in a few weeks, Lori and I discuss what works (and doesn’t work) about three more new fall pilots:Aliens in America(The CW), Reaper (The CW), and Cane (CBS).

The short version? Cane is the Jimmy Smits-led Latino family drama,Reaper is the Buffy-esque dramedy of a young man who discovers on his 21st birthday that his parents sold his soul to the devil, and Aliens explores how a Wisconsin family reacts when a Pakistani Muslim exchange student comes to live with them (hint: not well).

Since most of the lead characters in these shows are men, why do you care? Reaper and Cane were created/written by women, and the prejudice Raja faces in Aliens will probably seem more than a little familiar to lesbian and bi women in the U.S.

Also, Reaper is one of the funniest dramedies we’ve seen on TV in a long time.
